The development and restaurant building were approved by the Planning Commission yesterday. Only a small handful of people showed up to oppose (traffic and parking), but those that did were C-R-A-Z-Y. Worth watching a bit of the testimony.

Still no word on the grocery store brand, though Cub would seem to be the leading contender based on store size, past rumors, etc.

It didn't seem that crazy to me.. mostly people that live on the block of Minnehaha that will share an alley. some of their concerns were around traffic on the alley, which the developer pointed out will deliberately funnel them to enter only at the start of the 46th alley where there are no residential properties and the trucks will exit by looping around the parking lot and back out onto the service road.

Height was an issue with a few... height is always an issue.

Most seemed in favor of something here other than abandoned property that's there now and causes unsavory activities in the alley.
